Description

The TS-M-2 meter is an important additional for many TriStar controller installations. It mounts directly to the TriStar controller, & displays a great deal of information about the operation of your system. In addition, the meter enables manual functions and controller diagnostics. These capabilities will increase your confidence that the system is working properly and will help you to improve system reliability, battery life, and system performance. It is worth the time getting to know your meter!

The TriStar meters are 2 x 16 character LCD’s that display system and controller information, logged data, bar graph metering, alarms and faults for easy troubleshooting. The information may be shown in English, French, German, Portuguese or Spanish. In multicontroller systems, these are networkable using Morningstar’s MeterHub to allow individual controller data and aggregate system data to be displayed together on a single meter.
